Microsoft Surface 2nd Generation

This BBC article and video shows us Surface 2nd Generation with up to 52 points of contact interacting all at once with the computer. click here for the BBC article. As we have seen recently, this technology is beginning to be taken up, click here for an example in a resturant.

As you may know I have posted a story about surface before:
Microsoft Surface vs Apple Multitouch
Over the next through years an epic battle will commence between touch sensitive technologies. Apple's multitouch is currently employed with their very popular iPhone & iPod Touch handheld devices and now on their trackpads on their aluminum MacBooks. Microsoft have been developing a table top touch sensitive application called Microsoft Surface. Their surface system, or an idea based on it have appeared in many film recently including 007 Quantum of Solace. So in the future say good bye to the stylus!
